I have used both methods. Presently I ftp our bindery shipment, and I am very pleased. Heckman has easy instructions to follow, and it is done with a very clicks of the mouse. With a disk, they suggested making a copy of it. The disk had to be packed and then unpacked when the shipment was returned.

I like the disk because then I have a backup if I need it.

Everyone is very positive about using LARS (very good to know) and it was a pretty much unanimous vote for using FTP. Main reasons were: you don't have to keep track of the disk, you can make immediate corrections and, very easy to do. Once again thanks for the input. And thanks for the offers of future help, as well. Susan Andrews Head, Serials Librarian Texas A&M University-Commerce P.O.
